Into the fray

We have two more! And we're definitely acquiring an international flair.

We have another Ramsay fan! Gary in the UK is also doing Gordon Ramsay's 'Three Star Chef' over at Gary does Gordon.

Down Under at In My Kitchen, Lisa is working her way through 'In the Kitchen' by Allan Campion and Michele Curtis. This cookbook is dedicated to showcasing modern Australian home cooking. Lisa is also a new mother, so you'll get the added bonus of some sweet, sweet baby pix.

A maintenance note: While adding our newest members, I accidentally deleted the blogroll on the right. I think I've recreated it but if you notice anything that's gone missing, please let me know.

Keep 'em coming folks!

More, more, more!

Just when I think we couldn't possibly get any more, I get emails introducing me to more. Isn't that great?

Firstly, Nicole emailed to tell me about her new meta-CTB, The Bread Baker's Apprentice Challenge. A group of hearty souls are going to cook their way through Peter Reinhart’s 'The Bread Baker’s Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread'. There's a link to the challenge page in the Meta-CTBs list, and from there you can follow Nicole's progress at Pinch My Salt as well as the other participants.

As a recovering baker wanna-be, this one almost lured me to join in. That was not helped by the fact that the book is sitting in my bookcase, virtually untouched. But reason prevailed and I'll live vicariously through them instead. Although Nicole's post on Anadama Bread has me sorely tempted.... :)

Nextly is Richard who is taking on Michael Ruhlman's new book 'Ratio'. He has the posts nicely grouped for you under the Category Cooking Ratio on his regular blog.

This one also has me super-excited, since that 'Ratio' is currently on my wish list. As a former (recovering) math geek I've been wanting to learn ratios for years but have been unable to find much geared to the home cook. I'll be following this one very closely, for sure.

And then Sara emailed to let me know about her meta-CTB, Craving Ellie In My Belly where the participants are cooking through Ellie Krieger's 'The Foods You Crave'. This group's been at it for about 6 months so there's lots of good reading to catch up on. They are still accepting new members, so if you like Ellie's food and are looking for a group project, this might be the one for you.

Welcome, and thanks, to all of our new blogroll members. My goal is to get enough CTBs to follow so that I don't have time to get any work done whatsoever during the workweek. I'm getting there!

A trend?

We have another CTB-er following The Great Ramsay! Welcome Louise @ Irritating Gordon. Louise is working through Gordon Ramsay's 'Three Star Chef'. She's a couple of posts into it already so this is a good time to catch up with her and follow her through.

Is she our first CTB-er Down Under? I'm thinking she gets a gold star for the great blog name, too. :)

Ooo, looky!

Another meta-CTB! A group of intrepid bakers led by Lorelei is working its way through Melissa Murphy's 'Sweet Melissa Sundays'.

You can check in on them on the Sweet Melissa Sundays blog, which is listed on the Meta-CTB section in the right sidebar.

In case you missed it

Be sure to stop by Alinea At Home and check out Carol's April 1st post. It's a beaut!

I admit, she had me. This is one of the consequences of having a memory like a sieve -- I'd completely forgotten about last year's prank.

I am such a sucker.
:)
 

Just gets better and better...

We have two more!

Sandy of At the Baker's Bench (home of the Bake Your Own Bread blogroll) is adding another iron to the fire; she's going to cook (bake?) through 'Baking At Home with The Culinary Institute of America.' Here's a link to her introductory post for the project. If you are a bake-head like me, this will be a 'must read.'

We are also joined by David at Cooking "The Babbo Cookbook", who was inspired by stories of his dad's childhood to cook through Mario Batali's 'The Babbo Cookbook.' He's about six weeks into it so be sure to catch up, and get ready for much more goodness to come.

Be sure to stop by and say hi two our two newest members!

A hearty welcome to...

Jon, who is planning to cook his way through Gordon Ramsay's 'Great British Pub Food'. He chose this cookbook sight unseen, so this will be a grand adventure for us all. He also plans to visit Ramsay's pubs in London to compare his efforts with the source.

Check out his progress at Ramsay's Pub Food At Home.

Oh No!

I just realized I made a grievous omission. I received an email from Annie at Bon Appetit to You Too!, informing me she is cooking her way through 'The Bon Appétit Cookbook' and 'The Gourmet Cookbook'.

Whoa. That's a whole lotta cooking!

I added her to the blogroll pronto but somehow forgot to introduce her to y'all. (No, I'm not from the South. I just like typing y'all.)

So swing on by and see what's up!

Two new in the zoo

I'm so excited - we have two new CTBs!

First, say 'hi' to Kim at Stirring the Pot. She's working her way through Tyler Florence's book which is titled, conveniently enough, 'Stirring the Pot'. She started just over a month ago and has already posted the results of 20 recipes!

Then be sure to stop by Velez Delights and welcome Stephanie. She is cooking her way through three books: '125 Best Cupcake Recipes' by Julie Hasson, '100 Magnificent Muffins & Scones' by Felicity Barnum-Bobb, and 'Great Cookies: Secrets To Sensational Sweets' by Carole Walter. I believe she takes the prize for our youngest CTB-er - she's only 19!

One administrative note: if a CTB does not appear to have been updated for over six months, I'll slide it onto 'The Back Burner'. You'll find that list a little further down the right-hand column. If you notice your blog down there and are ready to fire it up again, let me know.

Cook on!

Congrats!

Well, that's what happens when I fall off the face of the earth - I miss big happenings, like the birth of Adam's son Jack, which he announced way back on Dec. 31st.

Be sure to stop by Gourmet, all the way and give Adam your hearty best wishes.
